A Retirement Gift

A Retirement Gift and yet so much more...

My friend's dad Kenny has worked for the past 30 years for North Lanarkshire Council as an Emergency Planning Officer.

He retired last week and he decided that he wanted his Retirement Gift collection to go Eilidh and her Whizzy Wheels...

Well... he has just donated £315 in cash (and there has also been a few paypal donations too.)

About Me

I am currently living an unfamiliar life with a disabled child and managing somehow to make it wonderful, despite wanting to wake up and realise it was all a bad dream. I'd like to think that I don't hide from the truth so take me straight, without ice and knock back a glass of the good stuff.

"The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." Mitch Albom

The Whizzy Wheel Fund raises money solely for the provision of equipment and therapy for Eilidh Macfarlane and, as such, cannot be a registered charity. Full financial records are available to view by contacting us directly. Finally, in the event that Eilidh outgrows any equipment purchased with money raised, the item will be donated to another child in need.
